Frittata is made with egg meat, cheese and vegetables. It is similar to omelette. You can choose the fillings as per your taste. I’ll use spinach, potatoes and tomatoes to make this tasty Frittata.

Frittata needs some careful cooking and it takes bit of time to cook it. Frittata is cooked in various stages and if you are not careful then you might spoil it.

I used to live with one Italian girl when I was studying in London and she made the best Frittata. I learned this recipe from her. Initially I couldn’t get it right and used to over cook it, after some practice I perfected it.

Frittata could be an ideal lunch meal with your friends. Make this Frittata dish and impress your friends.
